Filmirullia

Filmirullia is a term that refers to a roll of photographic film, typically used for still photography, as opposed to motion picture film. It contains a sequence of individual frames, each capable of capturing a single image. The size and type of film roll vary depending on the camera and intended use. Common formats include 35mm film, medium format, and large format, each offering different levels of detail and image quality.

A film roll is usually housed within a light-tight casing or cartridge to protect it from exposure to light before it is used in the camera. Once loaded into a camera, the film is advanced frame by frame as photographs are taken. After the entire roll is exposed, it is then removed from the camera and sent for development, a chemical process that renders the latent images visible.

The concept of film rolls was central to photography for over a century before the widespread adoption of digital imaging. Even today, many photographers continue to use film for its unique aesthetic qualities, the deliberate process it encourages, and the tangible nature of the medium. The availability of different film stocks, each with its own characteristics regarding color sensitivity, grain, and contrast, allows for a wide range of creative expression.
